    I have two questions. Will this work with the 16gb SSD? Also, can the memory be user upgraded to 2GB? Thanks to anyone that can answer these two questions. #dellmini10vhackintosh

    @fourex59: Just did it. Only tools necessary were a couple of small screwdrivers and some pliers, but you have to be comfortable completely disassembling a netbook. #dellmini10vhackintosh

    How about a guide to doing this on a regular PC laptop? I'd like a Mac laptop that can run Photoshop and HD video. But I don't have $999.

    Any suggestions or links? (yeah I know how to Google but it seems like this is a complicated and perilous process).

    A couple of things ;)

    1. It is actually *MyDellMini* (MyDellMini.com forums are the "home" of NetbookBootMaker and NetbookInstaller... and now NetbookCD)

    2. meklort is the actual developer, I am merely a messenger at this point ("community manager", if you will). I create announcements on MDM forums and communicate with meklort on a regular basis about wants, needs, bugs. Check out meklort's blog at meklort.com (he is also a member on the forums)

    3. The Google Code project page : [code.google.com]

    4. The source for this entire guide is osx.mechdrew.com (where the original mechdrew guides are maintained)

    All credit goes to meklort and the wonderful community at MyDellMini. If you find this guide to be useful, I would consider dropping by MDM to show your appreciation and you may learn something new while you are there. #dellmini10vhackintosh

    The BoingBoing blog list has "Sleep" marked as a potential problem with the 10v, but you said it worked fine without any additional hacks.

    Just want to confirm "Sleep" does work?

    Also, thanks for the great guide. Hacking mine tomorrow.

    Just got done sliming Snow (put it on a Nickelodeon Edition 10v!). Didn't have anything better to do tonight...went to BB but they didn't have one, but WM had the Nick one. You can now commence laughing :)

    Worked perfect. Had to flash the Bios to A04. Entire process took about 3 hours. The touchpad kext worked poorly on mine, so I put the original back in (I used the most current NetbookMaker, I wonder if that one is the best), and it worked better that way.

    I did this to a Mini 9 several months ago. The keyboard on the 10v works much better.

    Just got on to say thanks to John for posting this, and kudos to all the people who worked hard on this project and continue to do so. #dellmini10vhackintosh

    This won't work on a 10? It has slightly better specs. Perhaps I'll just wait for the privilege of paying 2 times that when the Apple Tablet is released next year. #dellmini10vhackintosh

    Wait, so I need a Mac computer initially to do this? Or is there a way for me to do it from my PC and then follow the steps as usual?? #dellmini10vhackintosh

    @aniteshj: No idea if you can do this from PC, but an external DVD reader is cheaper than a Mac. Just thought I'd point that out. :) #dellmini10vhackintosh

    So now that you have shown us to install windows 7 on a macbook, and OSX on a Windows Based PC... can you show us how to install Windows 7 on OSX on a computer that previously had Windows? #dellmini10vhackintosh

    I prefer something a bit more terminal friendly. Might try this if you didn't need to have an actual Mac just to format a flash drive. Does OSX run in VMs? #dellmini10vhackintosh

    gizmodo, your saturday guides have been good, even though sometimes i disagree on talking of the topic, osx86, usenet, etc. but it probably does appeal to the users.

    Also you spelled ".kext" ".kept"

    also i hate you gizmodo for rubbing in how much better the 10v is, as i sit typing on my mini 9

    lastly the guide is the same for the mini 9, except the trackpad driver.

    ok i lied, one more comment, thanks gizmodo for posting the real way! not pystar! give a hand and maybe a donation to the real devs!
